A bit about the role
Do you want to be part of an exciting, innovative youth work team across Elgin?
Action for Children are excited to announce we have successfully been appointed to lead a brand-new initiative – the Elgin Active Youth Engagement (AYE) Bus! We’ll work in partnership with Stagecoach, Elgin Neighbourhood Board, Moray Council Community Safety, Police Scotland and Moray Pathways Local Employability Partnership.
The AYE Bus, a double-decker mobile youth centre generously donated by Stagecoach, is part-funded for its first 12 months by the Elgin Neighbourhood Board. This unique project is designed to offer early intervention and support for young people across Elgin, helping to create safer, more inclusive public spaces.
